Texts, Supplies etc.: Network Fundamentals CCNA Exploration Companion Guide CCNA Portable Command Guide CCNA Exploration Internet-based Curriculum access codes provided the first night of class 1 inch binder Audio Headset suggested for classroom use Flash drive Internet Access (PHCC lab or at home) Attendance: Students are highly encouraged not to miss class as valuable hands-on experience will be lost. Many of the hands-on labs require a significant amount of setup time, and as such make-ups may not be available. Make-ups that are available must be scheduled with the instructor, by contacting the instructor either before missing the specific class, or within 24 hours after the missed class. Students who receive federal financial aid must attend class to ensure eligibility for their aid. Failure to attend class may result in a reduction of awards and may require financial aid students to repay all or part of the aid received. Students are responsible for catching up on missed work on their own time. Absences and/or tardiness in excess of 25% of the scheduled classes may result in an administrative withdrawal from the course. Course Policies: Assignments are due at the beginning of class unless otherwise stated. Late assignments MAY be accepted however a grade deduction will be taken for each day the assignment is late. Any form of academic dishonesty will result in an automatic zero. Cell phones and pagers should be turned off during class. Failure to do so will result in the student being asked to leave.

The use of classroom computers and printers during class is strictly for this courses material and assignments. Any student using the computer or printer during class time for other reasons will be asked to leave. Please do not print during a lecture or class presentation. In unusual circumstances, make-up tests can be arranged in advance with my consent, and will be administered within three days of the original test. Please be advised that my make-up tests will differ from the original and may be more difficult. As a general rule there are no extra credit assignments available.

Grading: 1. Lab Assignments: These labs are designed to help you understand in a concrete way the material presented in the corresponding chapters. Lab completions are a reflection of your work as assigned. Labs and Activities are accumulated in your binder (Lab Manual) and turned in on the specified date (see Class Schedule). 15% of Final Grade Online Chapter Exams: 15 % of Final Grade Online Final Exam: 35% of Final Grade Skills-Based Exam: 35% of Final Grade Letter grade A: >= 90% Letter grade B: >= 80% Letter grade C: >= 70% Letter grade D: >= 60% Course Workload: It is estimated that students will need to spend approximately 8 to 10 hours per week outside of class time, on this course. Of those hours, approximately 60% will be spent completing the assignments in the PHCC Computer Lab, library, or at home. The other time should be spent on reading and studying the online material. You should read the assigned material before coming to class. I will lecture, demo, guide you through examples, and answer questions on the first presentation of new material. Open Lab: Open lab will be available in D-214 for you to practice your skills, catch up on hands-on labs, and work on curriculum or complete assignments as necessary. Please check the lab schedule for the times the Lab Technician is on duty. Important Dates: Last day to DROP/ADD Last day to WITHDRAW or AUDIT

Midterm Progress: Near the mid-point of the semester you should consider your academic performance to date. You have received some feedback in this course in the form of tests and assignments. Using this feedback and the information provided in this syllabus, you should have a good idea of your grade at this point. If your progress thus far is a "D" or an "F", you may want to talk to me. You should also make an appointment with an advisor in Student Services. These sessions can be used to clarify why you may be having difficulty, what courses are available for you to overcome your difficulties, and what course of action you may want to take. The deadline to withdraw or audit is stated under "Important Dates" elsewhere in the syllabus. You are encouraged to be aware of your level of academic performance at all times throughout the semester and to request help from instructors and Student Services personnel as you need it. All high school students who are dually-enrolled at PHCC must identify themselves as such to me. Because Student Services is required to provide grades to the high schools, I must provide a grade for every dually-enrolled high school student to the Student Services office at this time. Please remember that because you have earned a certain grade at this point does not automatically mean you will have earned the same grade at the end of the semester. If you believe that your grade at this point is above a "D", AND you are NOT a high school student who is dually-enrolled at PHCC, you need take no action at this time.

DISABILITY STATEMENT: Complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), PHCC makes every reasonable effort to accommodate students with disabilities. However, the college requires documentation of a students disability before providing accommodations for it. I wish you to have every opportunity to learn and participate in this class. Therefore, if you have any hearing, visual, or motor limitations which would impede your progress in this class, please let me know at the beginning of the term. I will make every reasonable effort to facilitate your learning within the physical realities of the classroom. It is also prudent to make your special needs known to PHCCs Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities, Mr. Ron Thiessen (727) 816-3236). See the PHCC Catalog/Student Handbook for additional information.

Cheating is the giving or taking of information for the purpose of wrongfully aiding oneself or another person in academic work that is to be considered as part of a grade.
